I sure glad that isn't the case wit my trees. I have 3 Pyracanthas
and a
Cotoneaster with loads of flowers that will form berries. I checked
the roots
on the Crabapples and they are and they are healthy and plentiful. I
think
it's fine. Matter of fact next year it gets a new pot.

Certainly isn't the case with mine either. Both are growing vigorously,
and the major cuts I made three years ago are healing over well. I
repotted the larger of the two this spring, and the smaller one last
year. The larger one will stay in its new pot for another couple of
years, and the smaller one for this year.
